Extensive alpha -decay studies of the very neutron deficient isotopes Po-19
1, Rn-195, and Rn-196 have been performed at the RITU gas-filled recoil sep
arator. The recoil-alpha-(alpha) correlation technique and the alpha-gamma
coincidence technique have been utilized to unambiguously connect the obser
ved alpha -decays to proper nuclei. Illustrative examples oil how the alpha
-decay can yield spectroscopic information on the nuclei studied will be p
resented.
